3.4 Gambhir gobbles up the catch from his old friend! Sehwag was playing an ambitious pull of one that was not that short, and he got a big top edge towards mid-off where Gambhir takes an easy one 23/1

17.1 he almost fluffed the chance! Vohra wanted to send this to MG Road, but gets a big edge that looped high up in the night sky. Chawla calls early, gets under it.. But the ball bobs out of his hands.. it actually hits him on his face.. and bounces of his mouth. He is relieved to see it's still in his hands later. Gambhir is relieved too.. Wait a second.. relief? who's next? 159/3

5.1 and Narine strikes immediately! It's a wicket gifted by Bailey though. He walks into the shot and walks too far to the off side, missing the straighter delivery to be bowled behind his legs. KKR are on a roll now 30/2

17.6 goes for the reverse sweep straightaway, it's in the air and it's gobbled up by the tower at short third man. Anyone else and this would have gone for a boundary, but Morkel's tall frame comes to the rescue. 170/4

Anyone else and this would have gone for a boundary, but Morkel's tall frame comes to the rescue. 170/4

0.4 he's gone! Uthappa's incredible run has come to a soft end. It's angled wide outside off, not as full as that first-ball four, and Uthappa's bat turns in his hands as he tries to drive, and ends up slicing it to point, where Akshar gets on his toes to grab it above his head 6/1

6.1 and he's struck first ball! Gambhir comes down the track and heaves mightily at the ball without quite getting to the pitch of the ball. It goes high in the air and Miller, running to his left from long-on, takes it well inside the boundary 59/2

16.6 oh no! Pandey's been hitting against the turn with a lot of success, but doesn't get hold of it this time. It's sliced up high over cover, and Bailey takes a simple catch. Super innings, and he raises his bat to the crowd as he walks off 179/6

15.3 from Patel, he's done it again, has he? Bailey turned the second Qualifier around with his run-out of Raina, and he's run Shakib out here, with another direct hit. Shakib mishit it towards cover, and Bailey runs to the ball in a flash, turns, and sends in a pinpoint throw that catches Shakib well short at the bowler's end as he looked to take a tight single 156/4

16.3 Karanveer has his third! that's full and very wide again. Tendo tries to do a Pandey, looks to go over long-on, but he doesn't get the distance, and hits it straighter than he intended, and Miller is under it to take the catch well inside the boundary 168/5

18.2 that's full, angled towards off stump, and Surya looks to go leg side. Doesn't get hold of it at all, and Manan takes a simple catch at deep midwicket. Oh yes, it was the slower ball with the off-cutter action. May have deviated away from Surya after pitching 187/7

0.4 to Uthappa, he's gone! Uthappa's incredible run has come to a soft end. It's angled wide outside off, not as full as that first-ball four, and Uthappa's bat turns in his hands as he tries to drive, and ends up slicing it to point, where Akshar gets on his toes to grab it above his head 6/118.2 to SA Yadav, that's full, angled towards off stump, and Surya looks to go leg side.
